Valentina Shevchenko has been on a winning streak since 2018. Her latest victory over Taila Santos at UFC 275 gained immense attention from various flyweights.

Surprisingly, the polite callout was accepted by the Kyrgyz and Peruvian mixed martial artist, but with a condition attached. Furthermore, ‘Bullet’ congratulated the Japanese fighter for her latest win. Nakai then replied to Shevchenko and revealed her desire to fight her.
